PALM-3000 Analysis/Discussion
• Pupil ellipticity at 2.0% (1.70% desired for AOI of 10.5)– There are degrees of freedom to change the ellipticity
• Pupil size at 9.645 mm (9.600 target)• We need to establish exact pupil sizes in the
different modes before specifying collimator• Different focus measurement in different modes
– Many possible contributors, will require investigation• CCD50 focus positions not yet established
– Will require use of Pixelink camera

PALM-3000 Flexure analysis
• Flexure – ATS150 roll compliance is excellent. Still awaiting pitch compliance. Expect 0.1”/hour. Khanh’s description of flexure analysis however is confusing. What priority should we place on having him document this properly?

PALM-3000 Outstanding tasks - summary
• CCD50 readout modes – awaiting SciMeasure.• Test the camera modes – RN/DC (JR, ? days)• Finish alignment plan - (CB, 1 day)• Further alignment investigation – (CB, 1 day)• Amendments to alignment procedure – (CB, 1 day)• Internal flexure testing – (CB, 1 day)• Spec new optics – (CB, ½ day)• Alignment with the testbed – (CB, 2 days)• Plan for testing and incorporating new optics – (CB, 1
day)• Mechanical…
